He worked in the construction industry, was a miner and enjoyed cutting posts and poles with his friends Mark and Eric.

He served in the U.S. Army and was honorably discharged.

In the summer, he often drove around Atlantic City with his dog, Boggie, barking out the window. He enjoyed going for walks and four-wheeling. He enjoyed going to the Grub Steak for breakfast and lunch. He also enjoyed going to the Atlantic City Mercantile where he could be seen sitting in his favorite chair visiting with friends and having a cold beverage. He enjoyed playing dice (ship, captain and crew) and always winning whether it be against his friends or anyone brave enough to challenge him. He was an avid sports fan, and he especially loved baseball and the Denver Broncos. Even though he was a Broncos fan he wore a Miami Dolphins jacket. He was a member of the Atlantic City Hungarian Brotherhood.

He is survived his brother, Joseph Pastor and his wife Jeanine of Rock Springs; several nieces and nephews of Rock Springs; niece Janet Boulette of Lander; and his favorite companion, his dog Boggie, and many friends in the Atlantic City, South Pass, Rock Springs and Lander areas.
